88 tabs and you dont use vertical tabs?!?
on firefox, use sidebary, and unload your tabs. and sort the tabs. very good for tab management.

Thank you Bridget for this honest video that is saying things after testing rather than from an agenda.
See, i told you so, internet. 8GB RAM is not enough. You need at least 12GB RAM, so get the next Neo 2, which is supposed to come with the A19Pro with 12GB RAM. All those Youtubers diehard Apple fanboys cursing me out for pointing out that 8GB RAM is not enough, and that we have historic data of the same problem with the 8GB RAM M1 Macbook Air. The reason that there is so many 8GB RAM M1 Airs being sold in the used market is proof that 8GB is not enough. Not many 16GB RAM M1 Airs being sold in the used market, because they are still being kept by the M1 Air users, but the 8GB RAM M1 Airs? Those are being sold, almost all of the 8GB RAM M1 Airs are being sold in the used market and that is proof that 8GB is not enough. Apple and the Apple Fan Youtubers lied to you, even going so far to claim that 8GB RAM on a Mac is not the same as 8GB RAM on Windows laptops because of the unified memory technology, or even saying that 8GB RAM on a Mac is the same as 16GB RAM on a Windows laptops. Liars, all of them liars.

In this RAMpocalypse, a cluttered mind will break your bank. The typical human brain can keep track of seven different things at once, tops.
For everything else, there’s bookmarks, storing PDF copies locally etc. Would it be useful if Safari automatically saved the date and time plus the source URL as metadata in any PDF files thus saved? Yes, researchers need that info for proper citations.

I am so sick of videos of people trying to kill the MacBook Neo. I purchased one soon after it was available to purchase as it was the only Apple laptop I could afford. I use it for MS Word, Web browsing, Photoshop and Lightroom. This laptop has not faulted on me and a video saying the computer failed after opening 88 tabs in a browser is just simply stupid! I thank Apple for releasing a laptop people can actually afford to buy.

THANK YOU for this. It’s been what I’ve been waiting to see! My base-model M3 MacBook Pro with 24GB of ram has three Safari windows open, all with at least 10 tabs each, plus a Chrome window with another 10 tabs, plus MS Word, Slack, Pumble, Mail, Messages and WhatsApp. Right now, Activity Monitor says I’m using 21.4GB of Memory with 5GB of Swap. (and yes, I use all four windows on a daily basis)
So clearly, the Neo wouldn’t be for me. 🙂

Hard to believe any Neo video reviews on YouTube.
Most claim to be “h9onest” but I find lots of reasons why I do not believe that at all:
1) If they like other Apple products already, they will end up “recommending” people to purchase it. A lot of the reviews keep mentioning external devise.
2) Always gloat about the storage size of it. But never mention that you will never get that much storage. Since the operating system, operating files used by the system, any applications, etc., are also stored on the same SSD. So, you will have at least a 1/4 of it already used up before even using it for anything. (Have yet to hear that their is memory in the machine that does store all of those instead of the only SSD in the machine.)
3) Only two ports on the machine. And they are not even the same. Why is one of them about 1/2 the speed, etc. of the other one? Why could Apple not make them both high speed and capabilities?
4) Apple, and it’s fan base, where so proud of getting rid of the headphone jack years ago. And even stating that it was outdated, etc. Then why did they put it in this? If it is so bad, then why put it in again?
5) Here we go again with the lack of ports, and one that nags the user if they try to use it for an external hard drive.
6) Why does Apple think that 8gigs of memory is all that people will want? There are other laptop makers that give 16gigs and more as standard. But Apple continues to only give the same size memory since around 2013? You can get more, but you have to get a computer from them that is over 2x the price.
10) A lot of the “reviews” mention external devices. Why do you need those if the Neo has all that you need and that “vast” storage space already built in? And if you want to use the higher speed port for more than one external device at the same time, then you will need to get a hub. to connect more than one at a time.
11) For all the money that Apple has, they can not give anything more in the box than the bare minimum to use it. Why not give you some dongles since users that have old ones that do not work with the ports on her. Oh yeah, Apple wants you to purchase brand new ones even if the older ones still work. An added expense that is never mentioned.
12) The operating system takes up about 50gigs of the 256gb or 512gb. So you are NOT getting full storage space that you think that you are getting. (About all computer makers do that as well. I have never seen any Apple so called “reviewers” other than one mention that.)
13) Lack of any internal expansion. You only have the two choices, and the only thing that changes is one key on the keyboard and 2x the size of the ssd. You can not tell me that adding 8gb more or ram on the 512gb version would make the price go a lot higher. (But Apple would with it’s well known “Apple Tax”>)
13) Anytime people give reviews and complain about the lag, etc. that the Neo has the comments try to claim that no one would ever have that since “everyday use” of the machine is just email, web browsing, video watching, etc. and nothing else. People that actually would possibly do video editing on it for example, possibly get lag, etc. since it is using a iPhone cpu and not a laptop cpu.
14) I have even seen reviews that try to claim that there is none at all. And that they have only 4 windows open with one running a small video. They never did show it running a real movie clip at 1080p or higher along with more than just static browser windows opn. Did not see anyone trying to use a word processor, encode videos, etc. at the same time. Just static windows with one just one actually making the processor work.
15) “Using the wrong browser” or software has also been an excuse that so called reviewers have used to try to explain away any lag. Just what is the “correct” software that can be used on the Neo so that is does not lag?
16) Have even seen people using so called benchmark software that was written for a non-Apple cpu on it and then try to claim that they are correct to try to make the Neo look so much “better” than Windows running laptop with the same memory, ssd size, etc.
17) When they try to stated how fast it is, etc. they always compare the chips inside, like the processor, to a previous version from Apple. Of course the newer one will be faster, etc. than the older model. If it was not, then there would be no reason to purchase a product with the new chips if you did not gain any performance, etc.
18) Giving this to a person that has never used an Apple laptop, etc. is not going to just turn it on and be able to use it. There WILL be a learning curve to get over first. Why is that never mentioned? You will be spending a lot of time teaching a person how to use it it if thay have use any other operating system before this.
Here come the, some possibly inappropriate, responses that chances are do not answer what I stated. But most likely just the same “You do not know Apple” , etc. IF Apple is so great, then why have they never taken over Windows and the computes that run that operating system? No one is forcing companies, people, etc. not to purchase anything else.
Even Apple is trying to get away from their old “look” by attempting to use flashy ads, etc. compared to the ones that they did just a few years ago. People want a computer that does what they want. Not just because it comes in a weird yellow color.
If it is Widows, they will use they. If Linux, they will use that. If Apple they will use that.

Funny how in Apple speak “work ram” is just cache ram that has to be stored somewhere. And that place is the SSD. The operating system is already taking about 50gb, this is another 34gb, so. on a 256gb model, you hare only left with 171gb to use for storage, etc. On the 512gb versions, you have a little bit more room of 427gb. And the SSD/operating system has to keep shuffling sata all over it since it has no extra ram that 16gb would provide to help it to handle slow downs., etc.
@ackman3981
April 17, 2026 at 9:13 pm
If the enxt version uses the A19 chip that is current now, would not be surprised that Apple comes out with the A210 version, that finally allows people to access 16gb that the rest of the computing world has been using for decades.
